None of you people who are complaining in this thread have ever heard another baseball announcer.....ever. Hawthorne is better than everyone else.

I have listened to a few other baseball announcers. When every one of them was cut, they bled red.
Hawthorn(e) is the only one I have ever seen bleed purple and gold.

the park is supposed to be pronounced "Alec Box" and Hawthorne pronounces it correctly.
people complain about him pronouncing it Elic Box but if you listen to any broadcast of any game and Alex Breggman comes to bat, he pronounces his name Elic Breggman.
It's just Hawthorne's accent.

I used to listen to Hawaii baseball games streaming on the internet because they were on late and I was kind of a night owl. Their announcer might be the best in the business. I know he's pretty highly respected. Just did a great job on the calls. Always a good listen.
Baseball and radio go hand in hand. And if you have to rely on a bitter guy with bad eyesight to tell the game's story, it really makes it tough to listen to.

The thought that anybody from Louisiana criticizing the way someone else speaks is absurd.

I don't understand the bitter guy comment. He is an LSU fan. Do y'all want someone who is neutral to be the LSU play by play guy?
